Love Your Neighbor...

...but don't pull down the hedge.-Swiss Proverb

I love quotes. I was at work looking for an out of print book on nuclear waste management data (yes, my job indeed has it's glamorous moments) when the website I was searching popped this up. I jotted it down and immediately thought of having "Mac the Evil" as a neighbor. He'd just bust on through (or eat the hedge!) You'd need razor wire with him!! Here's the original sketch.

I love both the proverb and the drawing. I particularly like the way you show the action with Mac’s hoof wrapped around the hedge and the low crouch getting through the barrier. This is very nicely drawn. It reminds me of my golden retriever who tries to go through the hedge between our yard and the neighbors thinking that I won’t see him. Horses and dogs are both silly. QK

hehe Mac is always my hero!!! I love the mischievious/playful side! I find it fascinating to see your sketch turn to life with such vibrant colour!!KEEP 'EM COMIN'!!XOGabips -"mommy, why's Mac stuck in the bush?""haha! He's being mischievious!""OH!! Like ME!! right? I bet he's looking for baby bugs to save!!"(Gotta love the insight of a 5 year old! AHAHHAH!!)
